   Oh Erin,
   
   So sorry that you weren't able to make it. I can't believe we are still going at this point. I just got back from celebrating with a friend about our boys becoming Marines this morning. I think I've gotten 2 1/2 hours sleep total and I am still going. LOL Had a couple of drinks so hopefully I will sleep like a baby tonight.
   
   Oh I cannot wait to meet you in person! Congrats to you and your family on yours becoming a Marine! You Rock Girl! I am so glad we met and are friends! Semper Fi
   
   Love Ya Chrissy

   Hi Erin,
   
   Well that is good, can you imagine having to move that big group of yours?
   
   Wow doesn't it seem like yesterday we just started on this board? I can't believe it's here either.
   
   Here is my cell 201-704-6417. I have Verizon, do you? This way we can text each other the next few days while we are slaving at work!

   hi there! No, i could NOT imagine moving our big group! It has not been easy trying to plan everything with them! I think the guy at the Hilton knew how upset I was. Thank God he figured it out! I just lit my candle for the night.. I cant stop thinking about all of them. I hope they all know that our hearts are with them. I'm so glad that I found this site. It was definitely a life saver. Billy is like a son to me. I was only 11 when he was born, and we've been very close all along. He's had some tough times. His mom, my oldest sister, passed away in 2002 from Leukemia. So ever since then, we've all become very involved with the kids (he has 2 younger sisters), as I know that's what my sister would want. So, it makes it that much more emotional for all of us, that he is accomplishing this, and she's not here to see it - although I am sure she's been watching over him all along. I will be sure to bring plenty Kleenex with me! I don't have Verizon :( I have Cingular. But I have unlimited texting, so feel free to text me if you need to! Or if you can, just email me at my work email.... esmith@childapp.com Talk soon.. Erin :)

   Hi Erin,
   
   I just got on so I would need to check it out. Are they moving your whole group? I stayed at the Hampton Inn 9 years ago and it was very nice and there was also an Applebees right next door with a nice bar. And it wasn't to far from Parris Island either. At least they are still giving you the same price. I know you bummed but you know the old saying, everything happens for a reason.
   
   Hugs,
   Chrissy
   
   PS How are you holding up?

   HI Chrissy.. The guy from the Hilton called me back this evening and told me that we can still stay at the Hilton. Sounds like a big mix up over there.. so hopefully everything will be ok. I am doing ok. Kinda have a knot in my stomach tonight. I can't believe the Crucible is here. I know we have our prayer 'spots', but i think we'll be praying till saturday morning non-stop! We have a good person on our side.. my mom is an ex-nun! So she's in good! Its a long story, but she joined the convent in Ireland when she was 14, and left before her final vows. She's still very religious, but she got married and had 5 kids after she left the convent!! :) How are you?? All ready for the trip? I still need to give you my cell number. its 908 313 7328.. I'll be praying for all the boys tonight :) Hugs, Erin

   Yes time does seem to be flying. Andrew said that in a couple of his letters that time seems to be flying for him. I am not sure what time I am going to be there just keep watching out on the board for the time because I think we are going to be there early for putting the bags together. We will have to exchange cell numbers to keep in touch while we are down there. :) :hug

   hi there :) We definitely must exchange cell numbers! I can just imagine what a whirlwind this will be. I think I'm leaving Tuesday evening and driving thru so I can be there earlier in the day on Wednesday. Right now there is 27 of us coming from NJ, Pa, and Michigan.. and I'm really the only one that has any clue what's going on! So, I'm sure it will be chaotic ! Thank God we finally have some good weather here in Jersey! Hopefully it won't be toooooo hot in SC.. !
